From 30K perhaps, but down in the weeds, Mosquitos sent their bombs through
doorways and into specifica areas of buildings that they were attacking. No
B-17 or Lanc could ever claim that.

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send those old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.

All parts of the "Mosquito" myth. The A-20, B-25, B-26, etc all had the same
bombing capabilities. Early in the war, the Mossy was all that the Brits had,
so it was useful for them to portray it as a "super weapon"

Don't get me wrong, the Mossy was a fine a/c, but it was NOT a "precision"
weapon.
